I hired Roy to help scale PayPal’s “Large Merchant” processing business when we had only a handful of merchants. Roy helped accelerate the core business while defining the strategy and launching PayPal Merchant Services into processing relationships for the multi-billion dollar travel industry. Roy’s analytical thinking coupled with his improvisational training make him a great leader and an asset to any team. I look forward to working with Roy again.

It was probably the slickest, best presentation I have ever seen. Not only was it entertaining, humorous, informative, thought provoking and delivered in a very professional, relaxed style, but forgetting about the excellent content for a second, the innovative style of the presentation was a piece of art in itself--and believe me, I have not done it justice with the above blurb. You have to see it--it will blow you away.

Roy gave an outstanding presentation at 4th International PLUS-Forum Cards and Payments 2013 Conference in Moscow in June this year. His presentation was really one of the best presentations I have ever seen. I am still impressed. His knowledge of the material, ability to provide precise analogies and bring together various facts, as well as flawless presentation skills are remarkable.

Roy gave a speech at Tech Chill Baltics in Riga and I was literally blown away. The quality of the presentation and the enthusiasm with which Roy was able to deliver it was outstanding. Not only is the content spot on, but the delivery was also spotless. Absolutely fantastic speaker, would love to have him talk at our Arctic15.

Roy is a dynamic, charismatic and super-motivated business development leader who helped pioneer PayPal's merchant services and mobile divisions min the US and the UK . I worked with Roy in the PayPal UK team and hold in positive esteem Roy's character and ability .

Roy was a key member in building out PayPal's Merchant Services business - in particular, he took the lead on getting PayPal into the airline payment processing business. Roy is an entrepreneur at heart - and a big heart it is. He really is a joy to work with and inspires those around him. He's got very strong people, business development/strategy and sales skills. Strong endorsement!

Roy is a visionary and has been able to negotiate through the complexity of payments. He's been able to forge solid partnerships that have helped facilitate PayPal's penetration into the market as well as lay the foundation of our success into enterprise payment processing. I worked very closely with Roy in PayPal's initiative to enter the travel segment. Because of Roy, we are live and processing airline customers today! Roy is a great leader with exceptional analytical skills. Anyone who who has worked with Roy is definitely on a winning team. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.

Roy has more energy and enthusiasm than 10 happy employees put together. If you seek new business and want to create new opportunities, to enter new markets and launch new products - you need Roy. Roy has a sharp mind, a gift for persuasion, a wide range of highly-sought after skills and experiences + an incredible network.

I had the opportunity to attend Roy's presentation on payments at FS Club a while back, which I can easily say was one of the best sessions. He has the unique ability to combine his subject matter expertise, strategic & visionary thinking on mobile payments, and exceptional engagement skill with a large audience to paint a beautiful picture that hits the right tone with the audience immediately even on most difficult subjects. He sure is the one to watch out and listen to if speaking in any conference or seminar.

I would like commend Roy Vella for his presentation at the FS Club this past 6th of June. It was an exceptional presentation and he excelled in the very much up do date content of his presentation, the very good quality and sense of good choice of the materials used in his presentation and last but not least his very good delivery, typical of one who understands and has full command of the subject matter. Well done Roy!
